Bottom 7, tied game. Bellarmine has runners on 1st and 2nd. Shot up the middle HITS the umpire, runner from 2nd scores and all holy heck breaks out. Celebrations all over the field, and the host is setting up the trophy table.

Meanwhile, back on the field the blues are in conference. They call the teams back on the field, call the interference and place the runners back on base. Of course, the Bellarmine coach is ejected.

Next pitch is a passed ball, Bellarmine runner scores from third.

My question is, why did they let the play continue?

Why do coaches act this way? This is CLEARLY a book situation that the umpires handled correctly, by rule.
